Before trucking the new crop to port for exportation,  careful analysis of the green bean crop is undertaken. Large plantations have in-house analysis and testing facilities to assess the quality of their product. Smaller plantation owners rely on analysis centres close to port, to undertake this necessary check on their behalf.

The quality control analysis is critical before the exportation of any new crop can occur, expert staff check for characteristics, including size grading, appearance, colour, moisture content levels, defect count, quality of processing and visual characteristic due to plantation growth and processing production. This all occurs before the all important cupping analysis is undertaken.
